Template:Diagnosis Murder Character
Norman Briggs is a fictional character in the classic TV show, Diagnosis: Murder. Norman is the Head of Administration for Community General Hospital. He was played by Michael Tucci.
Background
Norman attended Yale University. He graduated in 1978, and was voted "Most Popular". He was the only one in his class who majored in hospital administration—the rest went into corporate finance. Before going to graduate school, he served in the Peace Corps, and was sent to Nigeria.
He took his first job at Community General, two years before Dr. Jack Stewart or Dr. Amanda Bentley came. He remarks they were the toughest years since Community General almost went bankrupt with the last administrator.
Throughout the show, Norman shows measurable contempt for Dr. Mark Sloan's solving cases for the LAPD/his son Steve. Norman feels it takes Mark away from his patients, and thus is not giving them the attention they deserve. To please Norman, Mark often lies to him about his involvement with cases.
He now volunteers at the Malone Foundation, a trust fund dedicated to giving money to charity or free clinics. Norman enjoys this job because he says it is good to give money, knowing it will help people, instead of "pinching pennies" as he does at Community General.
Trivia
- Norman is referred to as Mr. B by Dr. Jack Stewart.
- He has phobias of heights, spiders and cheese.
